Hi

I don't know a lot of about flash but what i would like to know is if it is possible to use flash as a front end to a c++ or java program?? And if its not possible how could i create a similar effect??

Thanks

Pete

Yes you can!

In fact, if you want dynamic flash content (I'm assuming you do), you can use the C++ interface to the Ming libraries to create flash right from your C++ app. http://ming.sourceforge.net

Can Ming be used in Visual C++?

Yes, Ming is a C library, with a C++ front end as well as wrappers for serveral scripting languages (php, perl, python, etc).

I'm not a C++ programmer, so I can't help you further than that, but you can always post questions to the Ming-Fun mailing list, signup at the main Ming site.

There is a windows build, but I haven't tried using it with VC++, in fact I'm not even sure what version of PHP it works with, but here's the ULR just in case http://gsetss.dnsalias.org/ming4win/
